Hi everyone, I tried posting this to the redhat-install-list, but it's been a couple of days and I haven't gotten a reply, so I thought I'd try it here. I am trying to install redhat 5.0 in such a way that /home and /usr are NFS mounted from another machine. I did this a while back using redhat 4.2 and it worked perfectly, but with 5.0 the install fails after creating the local file systems with an error message like "mount: operation not permitted by device." I believe I am specifying the mount info correctly during the install (using the numeric IP address for the remote machine since I am not running a name server), and I know that the server is exporting the directories correctly because I can mount them just fine from another machine I temporarily connected to the network. I guess I could just do a minimal install and set up the mounts afterward, but I'm sure I was able to do this with 4.2. Anyone seen this problem before or have any good ideas?
